Bridging the gap between competence and excellence.

As practicing nurses, as specialists, you find yourselves in two environments: (1) the inner world of your clinical practice and (2) the outer world of social, political, and economic influences. Your theme for this symposium has reminded you of the necessity of Bridging the Gap Between Competence and Excellence in Quest of Quality Care. To bridge that gap, you must operate effectively in both the inner and outer environment for caring. Through such means as I have mentioned, you can span the two worlds and emerge strong from the currents carrying us to the 21st century. You can stand upon the threshold of the future as a Renaissance nurse contributing to a reformed and revitalized profession. I salute you as you stand poised for action at the open door.

Entry: a new approach.

Despite all of the protections promised through grandfathering and pathways to educational mobility, the entry movement tends to be perceived by many to be "demoting" the lives and livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of RNs who do not possess the education to meet the proposed standard. Here is a proposal for a way out of the quagmire.

A common sense approach to nursing research.

Two events conspired to force me to develop and then articulate a political or power perspective on nursing research. During my term as president of the American Nurses' Association (ANA) experience taught me that knowledge is the currency of politics--politics defined broadly as governance by the institution, by the profession, by the industry or by the Congress. Data describe. Data explain. Data persuade. And, where the mind is made up, data justify. The second event was the June 1988 meeting in Jerusalem of the Workshop of European Nurse Researchers (WERN) where I was invited to speak on The Power of Knowledge: The Knowledge of Power. This was the challenge to put into words what I had learned on this subject throughout a career as academician topped with a tour in professional politics. The result is a common sense approach to nursing research that I would like to present to the nursing community for further debate.
